In 2012, F.P.Journe and Jean Alesi joined forces in one of the wildest adventures of car racing, Indy 500 in Indianapolis.

Today, F.P.Journe has decided to follow this young pilot and son of his friend Jean. At the beginning of his career, François-Paul Journe was lucky enough to receive the support of some of the emblematic figures of haute horology, such as George Daniels or Jean-Claude Sabrier, and he, in turn, wanted to give a chance by supporting a young spirit of the car racing world.

In 2011, F.P.Journe launches the line sport, an unprecedented watch collection of stunning lightness, entirely made of aluminum alloy, specially designed for high-level sporting activities. It is the first collection of sports watches with an haute horology movement, in aluminum.

In 2012, Jean Alesi becomes the ambassador of the Centigraphe Sport with Titanium case and movement in aluminum alloy. F.P.Journe then creates the limited series ARS Indy 500, a tribute to the participation of Jean Alesi in the mythical race of Indianapolis.
